This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is this just the same old festering problem?

The show is back after a “spring break,” honestly the Imam got ill so we were forced to take a week off…but we are back!

Imam Azhar starts this show off by talking about the ebb and flow of life. He uses spirituality as an example, which is he is right to do, there are times we feel cemented in our faith, so close to our Lord. Then there are times where we feel further away, and we must work harder to get back to that feeling. Such is the way with everything in life.

After we talk about all this, the Imam recaps the week from letters in London calling to beat up Muslims to the gun debate… we can’t seem to leave that topic alone.

The Imam goes on to say that there needs to action, we cannot accept things the way they are. We have to work together – Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheist – to work towards ending racial inequality, to work towards ending sexual inequality, to work towards ending poverty, to work towards ending violence, to work towards a better world.

This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is how can we work on our communication, collaboration, and our civilization?

Imam Azhar opens this week’s show by telling our audience that if you have ideas or suggestions for a specific design of t-shirt for the Raw Islam Podcast we want your submissions! So, email us your best ideas and you might see them on a t-shirt!

He then goes on to remind our listeners what this show is about – it is about peeling the layers of the onion away to get to the center to find there is nothing there. Meaning that all the talk about how Islam hates the West, how Islam and Muslims want to rule the world, how all Muslims want to kill everyone… there is nothing there. It is – as they say #FakeNews.

After all that – we are right back into the gun debate, there are two sides to this debate, the pro and the con.

When the pro talk about gun control they tend to double down, say that the constitution says they can have their guns. They tend to use scare tactics with such language as “They are coming to your house to take your guns” or “If they strip away the first amendment, which one is next” and so on and so on down the rabbit hole we go.

Then the cons which highlight recent events in our history to show why we don’t need specific firearms. Really, is the one deer out there in bulletproof vest just waiting on a hunter with an AR-15?

But this debate just goes around and around and around and we never seem to solve the issue.
What we need to try is talking to each other more we need to work on our communication, collaboration, and our civilization.

This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is greed the root of all evil? And how is that related to the Parkland shooting?

WhileB.C. Dodgeopens the show on a positive note, and Imam Azhar agrees that on this podcast we try our best to stay and keep positive, there is no ignoring the fact that there was yet another school shooting – this time in Parkland, Florida.

Imam Azhar reminds us of a hadith that tells us to be wary of this life, and the things in this life. We need to remember to prepare for the here-after, and not get caught up in the pleasures of this life. Part of getting caught up in this life is avoiding greed.

He then recounts a story of a Muslim brother that went on a business trip and had lavish gifts given to him, including women being sent to his hotel room. He knew this was not the way to do business and it is proof that this world can be used against us, and that money is a motivator – which is part of being greedy.

Imam Azhar brings it all back around to the simple point that with the money that the NRA is spending, and the willingness of people to take that money – are prayers and thoughts enough when these tragedies happen?
